"This is the 2nd time I have used MC Autos. The first time I had some repairs done to my wheel alignment, they kept me up to date of when my car will be ready, they rung me before any further work went on. When I picked my car up the mechanic explained to me thoroughly what was wrong with the car and exactly what they did to fix it which gave me a good understanding as I know nothing about cars.
I had my MOT done most recently, and again, everyone was helpful, it was an easy process, no issues.
Overall MC Autos are kind, genuine, and good at what they do. I will definitely be using these guys in the future for any problems and servicing of my car!"

"Chole was fab in communicating with me about prices and the scheduled service. Was also able to provide the service using fiat parts. Team were friendly and very welcoming. I know about cars and the basics of a service I would night recommend this garage based on their honesty. Keep up the good work guys!"

Croydon

You need a garage in Croydon for your service but you don’t know where to start
looking. With BookMyGarage, you’ll find 16 garages
in Croydon, rated by other car owners and with fixed prices for work. Choose the date, time and price
that are best for you then click to make your booking online.

How do you choose the best garage for your service?

It’s usually only once a year but it has to be done - so where do you take your car for its service? To the garage round
the corner because it’s the nearest, even though you don’t really understand what they tell you? To the place your friend
recommends, even though it charges more than most Croydon garages? Or to a big, national chain garage - you’d rather support
an independent but you feel safer with a big brand? BookMyGarage can give you the confidence to book differently. You’ll find
Croydon garages near you rated by other car owners, with transparent, immediate details of their prices and services.
Booking online takes just one minute, and the garage only sees what they need to know - no unnecessary sharing of your personal
details. You and the garage get the full information on the booking, saving you and the garage even more time and hassle.

When should you get your car serviced?

Do you know how often you should get your car serviced and what type of service you need? There is no hard and fast rule -
it depends on the model of car you have and its age. You should find this information in your car owner’s manual. If you’re not
sure, enter your mileage on BookMyGarage and we’ll help you decide. As a general recommendation, you should be taking your car
for a Full Service every 12 months (or 12,000 miles) and a Major Service every couple of years (or 24,000 miles). If you’re
regularly travelling far beyond Croydon for work or to visit relatives, or you have a car with known issues, it’s worth getting
an Interim Service every 6 months (or 6,000 miles).

What are common repairs your car may need?

One of the most common and critical car problems is a slipping clutch. How long a clutch lasts varies depending on the age
and model of your car, the conditions you drive in, and the way you drive so the most important thing is to know how to spot
a clutch problem when you’re out driving in and around Croydon. You might find that the revs (RPMs) suddenly shoot up but the
road speed doesn’t increase. Acceleration may not be as effective as it once was. This will be more obvious in a manual car
than in an automatic as the clutch usually slips during a gear change. Expect to pay in the region of £400 to have your clutch
replaced but make sure you get the best service and price for you by checking Croydon garages with BookMyGarage.

What do you need from your garage?

You may live within walking distance of a garage which offers most of the services you need. However, by sticking
with the nearest garage in Croydon you could be missing out on a better deal. What if a garage with a collection / drop
off service or courtesy car could do the same job at a good price, without the inconvenience of losing your car for the
duration of the repair? BookMyGarage allows you to search for local garages which offer this facility, and compare their
prices, all in one session.
